8 0

Answer:

(a) the blocks all had different masses.

Explanation:

The surface is smooth, therefore coefficient of friction is tending to zero.

Forces for each blocks varied from 6N to 8N to 7N to 5N

The blocks were made of different materials and different materials are going to have varying weight for the same size of block.

Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe

dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, $a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, $m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg$

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}$

$F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}$

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}$

$a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is $2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

An artist working on a piece of metal in his forging studio plunges the hot metal into oil in order to harden it. The metal piec

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The temperature of the metal is $T_m = 376.8 ^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the metal is $M = 60 \ kg$

The specific heat of the metal is $c_p = 0.1027 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC)$

The mass of the oil is $M_o = 810 \ kg$

The temperature of the oil is $T_o = 35^oC$

The specific heat of oil is $c_o = 0.7167 kcal/(kg \cdot ^oC )$

The equilibrium temperature is $T_e = 39 ^oC$

According to the law of energy conservation

Heat lost by metal = heat gained by the oil

The quantity of heat lost by the metal is mathematically represented as

$Q = - Mc_p \Delta T$

=> $Q = -Mc_p (T_m - T_c)$

Where $T_ m$ the temperature of metal before immersion

The negative sign show heat lost

The quantity of gained t by the metal is mathematically represented as

$Q = M_o c_o \Delta T$

=> $Q = M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)$

$Mc_p (T_m - T_c) = M_o c_o (T_c - T_o)$

substituting values

$- 60 * 0.1027 (T_m - 39) = 810 * 0.7167 * (39 - 35)$

=> $T_m = 376.8 ^o C$

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse" refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time. When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.
